Dan Phillips : Trainee Sales Consultant

Batchelors Location: York
Hometown: Born in York, and never strayed too far (why would you?)

If you ever find yourself lost somewhere between York and… well, pretty much anywhere in the UK, Dan Phillips is the man you want in the passenger seat. Our Trainee Sales Consultant for Omoda and Jaecoo has a built-in sat nav that refuses to be beaten—no signal required, no rerouting necessary.

A true York local through and through, Dan has always had his sights set on working with cars—and unlike most childhood dreams, he’s actually followed it through. From admiring motors to selling them, he’s right where he planned to be… which is impressive, considering most of us wanted to be astronauts or dinosaurs.

Dan’s car history includes a seriously cool 2003 Volvo C70 T5 Convertible—proof he’s had a taste for style from the start. But his dream ride? A Range Rover. Big, bold, and built for adventure… even if the wildest terrain it sees is a supermarket car park on a Sunday.

When it comes to downtime, Dan keeps things simple and delicious—Burger King or pizza will do nicely, thank you very much. No fuss, no frills, just top-tier comfort food.

His dream trip is less about lying on a beach and more about burning rubber—Dan’s ideal getaway is a road trip from the UK to the Nürburgring in Germany, taking on the legendary circuit before cruising back home like it’s just another Sunday drive. Casual.

And if you’re wondering what’s on the stereo during that journey? Expect The Corrs, loud and proud. After seeing them live in Newcastle in 2024, Dan’s playlist has been firmly set—and honestly, we respect it.

Whether he’s helping you find your perfect car or confidently navigating cross-country without Google Maps, Dan brings enthusiasm, know-how, and just the right amount of petrolhead passion to the team.
